Do people forget how to RIDE over the winter break?? I think so. It is a good reminder for ME to pay attention as the riding season starts. Remind myself about things like counter-steering, watch my speed and don't do STUPID stuff.



It's a two part answer:
Yes, a lot (not all), especially 2nd or 3rd year riders need to remember to take it easy the first few times out to get re-acquainted with their bike.
After winter is over, cagers have also forgotten that bikes exist, so are not looking either.
